Rodri Says He Believes in Manchester City's 'Innocence' Amid Financial Charges Case

Manchester City midfielder Rodri said he believes the club is innocent of financial wrongdoing and will continue to trust City unless it is proved otherwise, according to the BBC, as the club's long-running Premier League disciplinary case draws toward a verdict.

His comments come as reports emerged that an independent commission had found City guilty of the majority of the 115 financial breach charges it faced, though the BBC's report did not indicate whether Rodri was responding directly to those reports or speaking more generally about the case.

Player's remarks amid uncertainty

The BBC's report did not include the specific setting in which Rodri made his comments, such as a press conference or media interview, nor did it provide further quotes elaborating on his reasoning.

It also did not detail whether other current or former City players have publicly commented on the case, or how the prospect of sanctions might affect the squad's preparations for the season.

Rodri, who has played for Manchester City since 2019, has been a key figure in the club's recent trophy successes, and his remarks reflect the broader uncertainty among those connected to the club as they await the case's outcome.

Further details on the substance of his comments and any official City response were not included in the available report.
